Revelations
Rev. 1:11 "saying, I am Alpha and Ome'ga, the first and the last:
and What thou seest, write in a book, and send it unto the seven
churches which are in Asis; unto Ephesus, and unto Smyrna, and
unto Per'gamos, and unto Thy-ati'ra, and unto Sardis, and unto
Philadelphia, and unto La-odice'a"
(What happened to these churches?)

the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is

will write upon him my new name."
(Jesus refers to his "Father" and to his "God." What
about the Trinity?)
Rev. 3:15-17 "I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor
hot: I would thou wert cold or hot. So then because thou art
lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spew thee out of my
mouth. because thou sayest, I am rich and increased with goods,
and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched,
and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:"

him; and they were full of eyes within: and they rest not day and
night, saying Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, which was, and

and thanks to him that sat on the throne, who liveth for ever and
ever, the four and twenty elders fall down before him that sat on
the throne, and worship him that liveth for ever and ever, and
cast their crowns before the throne, saying, Thou art worthy, O
Lord, to receive glory and honor and power: for thou hast created
all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created."
(God?)
(God created all things for His pleasure)

behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, hath
prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof.
And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four
beasts, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had
been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the
seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth."
(Jesus depicted as a Lamb)
Rev. 6:12-17 "And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal,
and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black
as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood; and the stars
of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her
untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind. And the
heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every
mountain and island were moved out of their places. And the
kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the
chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every
free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the
mountains; and said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and
hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from
the wrath of the Lamb: for the great day of his wrath is come;
and who shall be able to stand?"
Rev. 7:3-8 "saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the
trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in their
foreheads. And I heard the numver of them which were sealed: and
there were sealed a hundred and forty and four thousand of all
the tribes of the children of Israwl. Of the tribe of Judah were
sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Reuben were sealed
twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Gad were sealed twelve
thousand. Of the tribe of Asher were sealed twelve thousand. Of
the tribe of Naph'tali wee sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe

the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, the
mystery of God should be finished, as he hath declared to his
servants the prophets."
Rev. 12:1-6 "And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman
clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her
head a crown of twelve stars: and she being with child cried,
travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered. And there
appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon,
having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his
heads. And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven,
and did cast them to the dearth: and the dragon stood before the
woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as
soon as it was born. And she brought forth a man child, who was
to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught
up unto God, and to his throne. And the woman fled into the
wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they
should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore
days."
Rev. 12:7-9 "And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels
fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels,
and prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in
heaven. And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent,
called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he
was cast out into the earthl, and his angels were cast out with
him."
Rev. 13:15-18 "And he had power to give life unto the image of
the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and
cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast
should be killed. And he causeth all, both small and great, rich
and poor, free and bound, to receive a mark in their right hand,
or in their foreheads: and that no man might buy or sell, save he
that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his
name. Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the
number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his
number is Six hundred threescore and six."
Rev. 14:17-18 "And another angel came out of the temple which is
in heaven, he also having a sharp sickle. And another angel came
out from the altar, which had power over fire, and cried with a
loud cry to him that had the sharp sickle, saying, Thrust in thy
sharp sickle, and gather the clusters of the vine of the earth;
for her grapes are fully ripe."
``(A temple and altar in heaven)

which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole
world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God
Almighty."

Rev. 20:1-3 "And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the
key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in the band. And he
laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil,
and Satan, and bound him a thousand years, and cast him into the
bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him that he
should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years
should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little
season."
Rev. 20:4-5 "And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and
judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that
were beheaded for the witness of Jesus and for the word of God,
and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image,
neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their
hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.
But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years
were finished. This is the first resurrection."
Rev. 20:7-10 "And when the thousand years are expired, Satan
shall be loosed out of his prison, and shall go out to deceive
the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, God and
Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number of whom is
as the sand of the sea. And they went up on the breadth of the
earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the
beloved city: and fire came down from God out of Heaven, and
devoured them. And the devil that deceived them was cast into
the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false
prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and
ever."
(2nd great battle)
Rev. 20:11-12 "And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat
on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and
there was found no place for them. And I saw the dead, small and
great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another
book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were
judged out of those things which were written in the books,
according to their works."
Rev. 20:14-15 "And death and hell were cast into the lake of
fire. This is the second death. And whosoever was not found
written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire."
(Being condemned to hell is the 2nd death)
Rev. 21:1-3 "And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the
first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was
no more sea. And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming
down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her
husband. And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold,
the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them,
and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them,
and be their God."
Rev. 21:9-10 "Come hither, I will show thee the bride, the Lamb's
wife. And he carried me away in the spirit to a great and high
mountain, and showed me that great city, the holy Jerusalem,
descending out of heaven from God."
(A city is the bride of the Lamb?)
Rev. 21:12 "and had a wall great and high, and had twelve gates,
and at the gates twelve angels, and names written thereon, which
are the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel."
(Very Hebraic)
Rev. 21:22 "And I saw no temple therein: for the Lord God
Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it."
Rev. 22:1-2 "And he showed me a pure river of water of life,
clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the
Lamb. In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of
the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner
of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of
the tree were for the healing of the nations."
(Do people eat and drink in heaven?)
Rev. 22:20 "He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come
quickly: Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus."
